Kawhi Leonard Reportedly Unhappy With Clippers Medical Staff, Done For Playoffs

Kawhi Leonard is said to be unhappy with how the Clippers medical staff downplayed the extent of his knee surgery during their first diagnosis.

Now, take this information as you will. It came from noted pot-stirrer Skip Bayless. On his show “Undisputed”, Bayless revealed that he had a ‘very good source’ tell him Kawhi Leonard is pissed off with the Clippers, and that he will need season-ending surgery.

“I have been told by a very good source that the first issue became Kawhi was unhappy with the Clippers medical staff because he felt they early on misdiagnosed and underplayed the extent of this knee injury. What does that smack of? San Antonio all over again,” Bayless said on today’s edition of Undisputed.

“Kawhi Leonard is his own man, we know this. Once he gets a little sideways with medical staff, he’s going to pull away. He’s going to go to this doctor and that physical therapist, away from the team. Why is it that the team keeps saying ‘We’re not sure’ from game-to-game? They won’t rule him out. I think they’re just not communicating at all with him so they’re not sure what’s going on with him.

While Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has been relatively mum on Kawhi Leonard’s status, Skip Bayless would go on to say that the superstar is ‘done’ for the postseason.

“He’s gone. He’s going to need some type of surgery,” Bayless said. I’m not sure what the extent of it is, but he’s out for the rest of the playoffs. But they don’t ever say he’s out because I think they’re not talking.”

Not only did Skip Bayless say that he believes Kawhi Leonard is done for the playoffs, but he also thinks he might be done in Los Angeles.

Kawhi has a $36 Million player option for next season. Would he really be willing to forego all that money to become a free agent?
